The Line tool will draw each diagonal line on its own layer. Once you determine the center of your image, you can either delete these two layers or turn off their visibility. You can also merge these two layers together but you will have to simplify them first.

I'm using PSE11

I like the diagonal approach better. Another way:

To make diagonal lines, use the pencil tool or the brush tool. Click on one corner - move to the other corner and hold down the shift key and then click - a straight line will appear between the two points. Repeat for the other corners.

Make sure you draw your lines on their own layer so that layer can be deleted._______________________________________________________________________

This click/shift click method is also a great way to make a straight line of brush strokes. If you set the spacing to something other than default size, you can get a straight line of just about anything, i.e., bells, books, candles _______________________________________________________________________

Another way to make a straight line is to hold down the shift key as you drag your brush. In settings, choose 100% spacing - it will give you a line of individual prints of your brush - no overlapping

And if you set hue jitter to 100% you get a line of items that vary from background color to foreground color

Janice, great tip! I had all but forgotten using the Brush or the Pencil tool. Thanks!
